Plan of Attack handled the European press communications for the Nex Machina launch on PC and PlayStation 4 in June 2017, overseeing the review campaign and post-launch editorial. This intense arcade shooter by Housemarque, the team behind Resogun, was very positively received by players and critics alike, with 63 metacritic reviews across both platforms with scores of 88 and 84 on PS4 and PC, respectively.
